Fiona Rand

I am trained to work with many areas you may want to explore with particular interest in relationships, human connection, attachment, grief and loss. 

I completed my training at Bath Centre for Psychotherapy and Counselling and have qualified with a Level 6 Diploma in Humanistic and Integrative Counselling.

At the moment, I see clients at my home in Nailsworth, near Stroud, and online, allowing us to work together no matter where you are or how limited your time is. I also work in an agency in Cirencester and several schools in Gloucestershire. 

Sometimes in life our mental health suffers and we feel in need of help. Now, more than ever, we are aware of the importance of addressing, not ignoring, this. Depending on our own history, we either reach out to find support or we drive the discomfort inside us, employing alternative strategies to avoid or numb the pain, prolonging and deepening the problems.

We all face challenges at some point in our lives and surviving them alone can feel overwhelming. It is my belief that through the relationship we build together we can experience, understand and repair the effects of those challenges. We might look at how you respond to people in your life, or stress, amongst other things. It can be useful to look at your past influences and how they have impacted your way of being throughout life and in the present.

I sometimes like to use art, poetry, visualisations and dreams to explore your inner world and help you to express what is going on for you. The process may touch on places of sadness or anxiety, but there may be laughter as well – I believe that humour can be a great source of healing.

Our work is confidential and I adhere to the professional ethics and standards of my professional body, BACP, including ongoing professional development.
